43: Chapter 43 Courage in the Face of Death!

In Mr. Xu's view, Qin Feng's challenge had already failed.

Although tightrope walking does not strictly forbid using one's hands to grip the cable as Qin Feng is doing—or rather, Qin Feng's current behavior is more of a self-rescue—

from a professional standpoint, it is already impossible for Qin Feng to complete the challenge at this point.

Zhou Yi's small mouth was slightly agape, and she was completely panicked.

"Brothers, he... he looks like he's about to fall. This is just for show, right? It's impossible that he's actually about to fall, right?"

As soon as Zhou Yi said this, the netizens in the livestream room burst into laughter.

"Sister Zhou, calm down, don't panic. Trust me, none of this is special effects; it's all happening for real. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"Sister Zhou, could you please look at the long pole that fell to the ground? It snapped directly, and shards are scattered everywhere. Where would you find such realistic special effects?"

"This is an officially verified livestream room, okay? Do you think this is some roadside, bottom-tier livestream room? The content in this livestream room is absolutely real; Extreme Brother never fakes anything!"

"Although I also wish all of this were fake, unfortunately, it is all real. Extreme Brother is truly in imminent danger right now; if he's even slightly careless, he could fall directly from up there."

"Look at Sister Zhou, she's completely stunned, hahaha. I guess she's never seen this kind of livestream before."

"Buddy, you must be joking. Let alone Sister Zhou, I've never seen this kind of livestream either. Who would risk their life for a livestream for no reason?"

At this moment, Zhou Yi was in a completely dazed state.

Seeing Qin Feng hanging from the cable with only his two hands, swinging in the air, she was on the verge of a breakdown.

"No, is this guy crazy? Why would he do this? Is it because he owes people money and has to do this?"

"How come he didn't even tie a safety rope? This is too insane. Why on earth is he doing this!"

"A real man, brothers. This is a real man. I just like real men like this. As for those sissies in livestream rooms who are always wanting to cuddle up to the sisters, I absolutely dislike them."

"Ah, watching this made me break out in a sweat, brothers. Wait a second, I'm going to go wipe off my sweat."

Zhou Yi was genuinely nervous now.

She had never been this nervous before, even when she represented the women's team in competitions.

Back then, when competing for the women's team, if she lost, the worst that would happen was being mocked for being a noob.

But if Qin Feng made a mistake here, that would be a human life at stake!

Seeing Zhou Yi disappear from the frame, the netizens in the livestream room started teasing her again.

"What did Sister Zhou go off to do? Actually wiping off sweat?"

"Everyone, let's be understanding. Sister Zhou does have a constitution that makes her prone to sweating, especially after seeing handsome, tough guys. With a flushed face, a racing heart, and accelerated blood circulation, of course it's easy to sweat."

"You typed a lot, so I think what you said makes sense."

"Holy crap, look everyone, Extreme Brother is moving!"

Just as the netizens were teasing Zhou Yi, Qin Feng, who was hanging from the cable, started moving again!

Earlier, when he was suddenly blown down by the crosswind, Qin Feng's heart had skipped a beat.

If not for his superior sense of balance, Qin Feng wouldn't even have been able to grab the cable in the first place.

"The wind here is even stronger than I imagined."

Feeling that the wind probably wouldn't die down anytime soon, Qin Feng couldn't keep waiting.

Although, relying on his arm strength, Qin Feng was confident he could hang on this cable for half an hour, the task assigned by the system had a time limit.

He had to complete the tightrope walking task within the specified time; otherwise, it would count as a failed mission, and he would be dead!

Thus, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Qin Feng exerted force with both hands, performed a Pull-ups to hoist his whole body up, then crouched on the cable, tentatively let go of his hands, and stood up.

The hundreds of millions of netizens in the livestream room instantly went wild.

"Holy crap, he can still stand back up? Awesome!"

"He truly is Extreme Brother; he really didn't take this crosswind seriously at all, right!"

"This guy is truly impressive. After narrowly escaping death, he doesn't immediately end the challenge, but actually thinks about continuing forward? I can't comprehend it, but I am deeply shocked!"

"Maybe this is the spirit of extreme challenges. At the very least, I couldn't do this; he's really too brave! With this kind of courage, even if he doesn't become an extreme sports athlete, I believe he could achieve something in whatever else he does!"

The netizens in the livestream room were not stingy with their praise at all; at this moment, Qin Feng appeared even more towering in their hearts!

The hymn of humanity has always been a hymn of courage!

Many people who seem very strong in daily life become incomparably cowardly when truly facing death!

This is not because they are inherently timid, but because all living creatures have an instinctive fear and dread of death.

And the truly brave are people like Qin Feng.

When facing death, he is not unafraid, but despite being afraid, he still chooses to do it—this is courage! This is what it means to be brave!

At this moment, Qin Feng proved this with his actual actions—the greatest shining point in humanity is courage!

When she saw Qin Feng spread his arms and stand back up on the cable, He Bingbing in the studio was already teary-eyed.

She didn't know what was wrong with herself, but just watching Qin Feng standing on the cable, she felt subconsciously moved.

However, she was, after all, a professional host.

So, after forcibly suppressing her emotions, she asked Mr. Xu, "Mr. Xu, through the big screen, we can see that Student Qin Feng seems to be preparing to continue completing his challenge."

"I would like to ask, do you think Student Qin Feng has any chance of completing his challenge? Given his current state, is there any hope of completing the challenge?"

Mr. Xu shook his head and said, "Basically impossible."

"Although I know this is cruel to say, it is the truth."

He Bingbing was unwilling to give up and continued to press, "Could it be that there is really no chance at all?"

Mr. Xu sighed and continued to explain.

"From a professional perspective, Student Qin Feng falling just now looked dangerous, but as long as he grabbed the cable, it was at most just a drain on his physical strength; it wasn't the most fatal aspect."

"The most fatal thing is still the high-altitude crosswind. This kind of level-seven high-altitude crosswind would make our bodies sway slightly even when walking on flat ground, let alone Student Qin Feng, who is standing on a cable right now."

"A cable is a flexible object, not a solid asphalt road. Even if Student Qin Feng himself has an excellent sense of balance, the cable under his feet will sway as his center of gravity shifts."

"Most importantly, Student Qin Feng no longer has the long pole to maintain his balance, so it is basically impossible for him to complete the rest of the challenge."
